NS maize hybrids for 2009 season

Abstract

Science-based maize breeding started at the beginning of the 20th century. Maize breeding at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops began in 1938 and the Institute has developed 218 maize hybrids since. Seventy-five of these have been registered in foreign countries and 13 are on the EU list. Genetic variability in maize is enough for the future progress of maize breeding. The hybrid NS 640 is the most widely grown hybrid in Serbia. The highest yield so far (18,640 kg x ha-1) has been produced by NS 6010. For 2009, the recommendation is: Early FAO 300 NS 300 and NS 3014, FAO 400 NS 4015, NS 444 ultra, FAO 500 NS 5043, NS 5010, NS 510, NS 540, NS 542, FAO 600 NS 6010, NS 6030, NS640, Zenit , Radan. FAO 700 Tisa and NS 770. We recommend new NS maize hybrids for the first time in big production. They are a new generation of NS maize hybrids. They are: NS 4030, NS 5022, NS 6040, NS 6060, NS 6102 and NS 7020. Their seeds will be distributed by NS representatives in the field.

Početkom dvadesetog veka počelo je oplemenjivanje kukuruza na naučnim osnovama. U Institutu za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo u Novom Sadu na oplemenjivanju kukuruza radi se od 1938. godine. Do sada je u Institutu stvoreno 218 hibrida, od toga u inostranstvu je priznato 75 NS hibrida, a na evropskoj listi nalazi se 13 NS hibrida kukuruza. Smatra se da je genetička varijabilnost biljke kukuruza dovoljna da omogući kontinuirani napredak u oplemenjivanju i u narednom periodu. Najzastupljeniji hibrid kukuruza u Srbiji je NS 640. Najveći do sada dobijen prinos sa NS hibridima kukuruza 18.640 kg x ha-1 2005. godine dao je NS 6010. Za setvu u 2009. godini preporučuju se: NS 300 i NS 3014 iz FAO 300; NS 4015, NS 444 i NS 444 ultra iz FAO 400; NS 5043, NS 5010, NS 540, NS 510 i NS542 iz FAO 500; NS 6010, NS 6030, NS 640, Zenit i Radan iz FAO 600; Tisa, NS 770, iz FAO 700. U manjim količinama preko NS predstavnika na terenu biće na raspolaganju i novi NS hibridi: NS 4030, NS 5022, NS 6040, NS 6060, NS 6102, NS 6043 i NS 7020.
